Good Morning, I'm Elyce Kirchner.
Nearly a thousand jobs were lost in the Pillowtex shutdown in Fieldale this week.
Now officials say Henry County will also lose nearly two MILLION dollars in local revenue.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Fieldale]

The County is requesting more than 500- thousand dollars in emergency state aid, so the Public Service Authority won't be forced to raise water rates.
With the loss of tax revenue, county officials and school administrators will also have to find almost a million dollars in budget cuts.
Yesterday, the Board of Supervisors asked the state to help find a buyer for the plant.

MAOP (May-OPP) is one of five race-based programs at the university now being questioned by the attorney general's office, over whether it meets the state's narrow-tailoring laws.

Police in Danville are trying to stop a string of forged and stolen checks.
Checks by businesses and private citizens to pay utility bills were stolen before the city utilities department even got them.
No one knew about the crime until people started getting "past due" notices from the city.
The checks were altered and cashed at various locations in the Danville area.
Police say at least 131 checks have been stolen to this date, but they get more reports every day.
If you think your check was stolen, you are asked to call the Danville Police department.

The U.S. military has given troops digitally enhanced photographs of how Saddam
Hussein MIGHT look after months on the run.
Photographs with showing him with a full beard; wearing a traditional Arab
headdress; with gray hair; and white hair -- with and without his trademark
mustache.
THE PICTURES ARE IMPORTANT TECHNICALLY, LOGISTICALLY IN FACILITATING THE SEARCH
FOR SADDAM.
U.S. troops are using the pictures as they scour the Tikrit area. They believe
the former Iraqi leader moves constantly, using civilian vehicles. Predator
unmanned drones are now being called in for additional surveillance.
While the soldiers clearly feel they are hot on the trail, senior defense
officials are sticking to their caution.
WE OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT CLOSE OR WE ARE CLOSE BUT WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
CAUGHT HIM. WE'LL ONLY KNOW WHEN HE'S CAUGHT HOW CLOSE WE WERE.
Officials ARE beginning to think about what happens IF they locate Saddam.
U.S. officials say there are 'no special orders' to take him alive. If there
is a final assault, President Bush will be notified beforehand, if possible.
If he is taken alive--what happens next? A Pentagon official tells CNN the
plan is to be vague, not specifying whether an alive Saddam Hussein is being
held in another country.
But there may be another outcome. Officials say it is posssible Saddam commit
might suicide and try to make it appear the Americans killed him.
The CIA has done its own series of sketches on how Saddam might look--they are
not being made public. But getting Saddam will only be one more step say
Pentagon officials in ending the violence in Iraq. ))

Bad acting. Bad timing. Bad money. Characters don't act badly enough.

Wild Wild West.

shower and put that idea in the circular file. Prime examples? Howard the
Duck....Heaven's Gate...the Adventures of Pluto Nash....Joe and the
Volcano....and the wonderful "Glitter...."
(BRIEF CLIP FROM "GLITTER")
NARR#4 The worst movies, however, derive from things like
Infatuation...where the principals.....the director, actors, producers....are
otherwise romantically involved. As in...."Swept Away".....where Madonna and
husband Guy Ritchie let us into their bedroom fantasies.
Or..."Cleopatra"....where Burton and Taylor went crazy mad for each other.
This is true on more movies than you may realize....resulting in the biggest
flop of all time in constant dollars.
NARR#5 There are lots and lots of really bad movies, of course. And we
could go on and on. One final example: Tom Cruise....coming off Eyes Wide
Shut...a horrendous ordeal which he made with Nicole Kidman for the peculiar
genius, Stanley Kubrick. Cruise plays a New York City psychiatrist. As
believable as Woody Allen cast as Jake LaMotta in Raging bull. So next up?
Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz....in Vanilla Sky. "See....the the thing that's
wrong with the previous two stink-bombs I made is that I need to work with
someone...who has a last name just like mine.
